Map Commands

The Map Commands section allows the administrator to enable or disable map commands for the user group. The available map commands and the default configuration for each map command vary depending on the agency’s Civic Platform configuration.

The following table describes the map commands available in 8.x:

Table 1. Group Personalization Map Command Fields
Create New Record When you enable this command, users can create records from the map viewer. For example, a field worker might want to create a record for a parcel and request an inspection.
Show Records When you enable this command, users can view the Civic Platform record for the selected GIS object on the slide-out panel.
Send GIS Feature When you enable this command, users can send a GIS feature to Civic Platform.
Show GIS Information When you enable this command, users can view GIS object attributes.
Buffer Select When you enable this command, users can specify a distance buffer from a map location to identify objects within a specific proximity to another object.
Note:

Buffering requires an ArcGIS Server geometry service. For more information about geometry services, see “Publishing Services” in the Setting Up Map Functionality chapter of the Accela GIS for ArcGIS Server Configuration Guide.
Attach to Record When you enable this command, users can attach GIS objects to the current record in Civic Platform.
Drive-Time Buffer Select When you enable this command, users can specify the number of driving minutes to identify objects within a specific proximity to another object.
Note:

Drive-time buffering requires an ArcGIS Online service.
